Why your flights aren 't safer

The air traffic control (ATC) official who averted the collision between a Jet Airways flight and an Indigo aircraft on Wednesday had a slice of luck.

Spotting the Indigo plane from the ATC tower located a few hundred metres away was not easy, especially because the airfield was pitch dark. As in this case, lack of coordination between air and ground traffic control was the common factor in the past few near-mishaps.

Simply put, a plane on the tarmac stood in the way of a plane about to land or vice versa. On April 20, a Kingfisher flight to Bhavnagar carrying 30 had to abort take-off because a GoAir flight that had just landed was late in vacating the runway.

Similarly, a Kingfisher flight cancelled take-off because an Air India flight landed on the same runway last October. Air safety experts feel that a Surface Movement Radar (SMR) would make the ATC's work simpler by ensuring proper coordination between ground and air traffic.

A Directorate General of Civil Aviation preliminary report on Wednesday's incident also recommended installation of the SMR. The radar can capture anything, from a dog to a jumbo jet, moving on the tarmac even during low visibility.

"It makes traffic management in the air and on the ground easy," said MG Jhunghare, general manager, ATC (western region). The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has procured the radar but it is lying wrapped in boxes because officials are struggling to find a suitable spot to install it.

"The airport's ground infrastructure is set to change constantly because of the modernisation," said an AAI official requesting anonymity as he is not authorised to speak to the media. Delhi's is the only airport in India to have the SMR.

In an airport like Mumbai's, SMR is crucial because flights simultaneously take off and land on runways that intersect. "The window of error is small. A small gap in coordination between pilots and the ATC could lead to disaster," said a Boeing commander with a private airline.

Worse, India's second busiest airport has one-third of its air traffic manager posts vacant. Despite several demands to augment manpower, the department that handles 700 take-offs and landings every day is short of more than 100 personnel. Upgradation of the airport's air navigation set-up is adding to the pressure.

"In addition to our existing work, we are being trained to use the new technology," said a tower controller. The airport is likely to get software that gives real-time information of touchdowns and alerts the ATC when two planes are too close to each other.

Recent cases 2010 May 27: A Jet Airways flight aborted landing because an Indigo flight was blocking the runway. April 20: A Kingfisher flight aborted take-off to ensure that a GoAir flight, which had landed, was off the runway. 2009 October: A Kingfisher aircraft was about to take off when an Air India flight from Nagpur landed on the same runway.

Life in Amsterdam - 2

This post I ll try to put what all things I have found interesting/New/funny/good/not so good in Amsterdam.
1) Firstly, the jeans guys here wear. Too good. Excellent.
2) People here are tall, when compared to people in India.
3) We have buses, Trams. We make use of chip karts(which mean bus tickets). We need to show it to driver, when we take up a journey. We have to say zones, like 1 zone, 2 zone depending on the distance of destination.
4) Everything is punctual, 8 15 bus will come at sharp 8 15. Even in office, everyone will be by 9, and leave by 5. Luch will be at 12 30, and you ll see everyone back to their seats by 1 15.
5) You have to depend on Pizzas and Burgers. You cannot expect Indian food here.
So you have to be flexible enough to accept food here.
6) Temparature here is around 12 degree centigrade. Hmm too cool. People always have coat over them. Sun sets here at 9 30 PM, 10 PM in the evening...strange...but yes. At 9 pm in the evening, you ll feel as if it is 3 in the afternoon.
7) We had Buklava, it is a kind of sweet. too good.

More to come...

Life in Amsterdam - 1

15th May 2010. I have landed here in Amsterdam, Netherlands for my onsite assignment. My colleague came to airport to receive me. She was waiting for me at the place where customs checking was going on. I was very happy to see her, as it was my first travel to any other country. All throughout my journey, i was in a kind of bother. Seeing her, felt very relaxed. Then we walked towards exit. she took few pics of mine at the airport.
I have booked a cab to my place, where I was going to stay. We went in cab. Dutch cab, dutch people, all new.

I met my colleague, with whom I am going to stay. After having all discussions, about my travel, happenings at offshore, gossips, formalities, I was tired by then.
I fell asleep. To my surprise, by the time i woke up, it was sunday evening, i was actually in a feeling it was saturday evening...i slept for around 18 hours:)

I went to office, the following day. My manager here introduced me to all our clients. Nissan manager took me to all the departments, traffic & customs, inventory, logistics, planning, he also took me to the warehouse and showed each and every aspect of the plant, explaining everything about the details of each section of business very lucidly. He has lot of patience. I have tried to grasp most of the things which he was saying me. I used to have a feeling, it might be difficult to understand english of these people, but it was not a problem. I was comfortable with the english these dutch people speak.
